This is actually, how I understood it.

@toast

I mean, in DS9, section 31 were clearly villains, right?

Not heroes in the shadow. This is what they told themselves in order to justify their shit.

@CrypticCoffee

You did not read the entire post you first replied to, did you?

@CrypticCoffee

I wonder, how increasing CEO pay year by year worked out for them.

Certainly, definitely not in growing the user base, but also not in revenue that would make up it.

@CrypticCoffee

Wasn't by far my only point.

However: Making a commitment and then pulling back, is a statement.

@dantheclamman

I am definitely starting to hate #Mozilla.

As a remark: I have always been fine with their deal with Pocket and having Google as their default search engine. In the end, there are bills to be paid.

Until I learned that e.g. Mozilla Corporation's CEO is on a multi-million dollar salary, and they're hiring ai and ad people.

Not OK for an entity where many highly skilled people code for free.

It's not what users want the cash to be spent on.

Leaving the Fedi is the final drop

@Buddahriffic

Same!

But isn't it a bit sad, we've all become so paranoic whilst at the same time being total oblivious to sharing lots of data, just because we want to know what the kitten did to the alligator?

@Buddahriffic

Yes, It was easier to do truly representative polls, when people loved answering questions and everybody had a landline.

@Eiri

Oh fuck!

I'm way too used to CaMelCase, it seems.

@UncleAbbie

This is way a too revolutionary idea.

@JackbyDev

I'm sorry.

It was certainly never my intention to impose myself like an official channel or something like that.

I still welcome a debate here.

@somethingrandomtho

However: Revenue is a good thing. Being trusted by the community is infinitely more valuable.

@somethingrandomtho

Good point.

@cmeio

Yes and no.

Obviously, the people questioned here, are not representative for the entire FF user community.

However: The Fediverse at large is a community of mostly tech-savvy people, who do care about independence from major corporations.

These are, in fact, also the people who are the core users and developers of FOSS software.

Whilst the exact percentage means nothing, the tendency is so clear that it should, at least, be taken into consideration.

Did you read part 2 & 3?

@hahaohwow

You are definitely not alone!
